I just watched this episode on catch-up TV on Sky. It was broadcast of 4Seven so if you have access to that it is worth a watch. Some great footage of the Douro plus appearances from Dom and Johnny Symington, the Robertsons and Adrian Bridge. If you ignore the factual inaccuracies and just enjoy the...

I tuned in on Wednesday night to watch the opening overs only to find it wasn't on Sky. Luckily I hadn't had enough to drink to persuade me to instantly upgrade to include BT Sport so I am going to have to give this series a miss.

I am likely to be either having or recovering from knee replacements in January so my place should be given to someone who can walk from the tube station to the B&F :( Plural! Both knees? Indeed.

I think the IVDP approves a set quantity of VP for each shipper in each year that sales are presented for approval. However, that doesn'...

I think the fact that it clearly says "1927 Tawny" on the capsule tells us that this is not VP, so no mystery there. I agree with Phil that the intricate nature of the capsule is very unusual in a fake. The label does look suspect, but there are plenty of bottles around with facsimile labels made an...
